What is the current carrying capacity of 32 sq mm copper cable?

It depends on the the number of cores, type of insulation, whether armoured or unarmoured, and method of installation. So, there is no simple answer. You must determine the current-carrying capacity from the Tables provided in BS 7671:2008 Requirements for Electrical Installations, or the equivalent used in your country.

What size aluminum wire for 100 amps undergroundservice 60 feet from meter?

A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 120 amps. 150 x 80% = 120 Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 150 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 190 amps. 190 x 80% = 152 amps A 4/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 190 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.


Do you need to change the wire size going from 100 amp service to 150 amp service?

Yes, the wire size has to be increased. The existing 100 amp service will now probably have a #3 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C which is rated for 100 and 105 amps respectively. Increasing to a 150 amp service will use a #1/0 wire size. If you are thinking of an upgrade, skip the 150 amp service and go to a 200 amp panel. New homes are installing 200 amp 42 circuit panels. The extra cost is only reflected in the materials as the labour costs will be the same regardless whether a 150 amp or a 200 amp panel is installed. The wire size for a 200 amp panel is #3/0. With an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C the rating is 200 or 210 amps respectively.

If your service cable coming to the meter says 600V 3cd on it is it 100 150 or 200A and would upgrading to 100A from 60A be good enough for a 2-story single family 7 room home?

In my experience it is best to upgrade to an 200 amp service. The cost difference is minimal and is a selling point for the future. This includes replacing the service cable and Meter Box.
